JUST PASS in Operating Systems !

Prologue:

For those who really think Operating Systems is just a paper in an engineering course, it has something to do with BaLa :-O . IT HAS TAKEN THE HELL OUT OF ME! What with the 5th semester holidays getting over, my entry into the 6th was just like 'Ah! just another semester.' Given the elective options in the 5th semester, O.S and RDMS were the electives that were opted by many. And I took Embedded Systems(Very easily identified as The Colour Sensor thing! :P ) and O.S.

The Crime Scene:

Into the 3rd internals and 6 subjects done, I was there in front of The Godfather Of O.S- Mr.John Tony. He taught me with real should-teach-them-with-dedication attitude and I was like feeling really light after the enlightenment. Back home, I remember studying! But, the other day in the internal exam I found myself sneaky enough to hide the Bit Paper/Mal Practise material/Evidence-that-was-supposed-to-prove-me-guilty-of-my-crime or whatever it is called. Having successfully committed The Crime Of Copying any person with a mind would have discarded it but Mr. Mindless(yours truly) had it beneath his answer sheet with his mind trying to THINK (How genuine na? ) of the next question! After minutes of thinking, I could only remember someone pulling out that material and asking 'what is this??'. With an Oh!-s***-I-just-got-caught face I gingerly gave those silly replies and found myself storming out of the exam hall handing the paper(actually, it was snatched from me!) to The Lady(she wanted to teach me a lesson saying 'what would happen to PSG standards if I leave you?' Look at who is speaking of it! ) and I was there inside the HoD cabin.

Aftermath and a lot:

I spoke,pleaded,begged,wept and tell you what? She(the HoD) never felt sympathetic! Expecting sympathy after having indulged oneself in malpractice in ECE Dept of PSG Tech is like C'est impossible. The issue went to CoE(Controller of Examinations). I had to bring my parents to college to speak with the HoD.

The enquiry day and I told all my hooked-up stuff of what had happened? Kept my fingers crossed until the results were out. All were praying 'I should pass' , 'I should get a 9 in Microwave',' Wish I get a 10 in STC(Statistical Theory of Communication).

My prayer was 'My results should get displayed!'

Result Day:

Result day, and I had to wait for nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes and the wait was worthy!

5E in Operating Systems(this will be the last time I use this word! ) and it meant my internal marks had totally been scrapped off! This gave me a SGPA(Semester GPA) of 8.59 and I could still maintain a CGPA(Cumulative) of 9.19. Thanks to my previous CGPA of 9.32.

That's the story of 'JUST PASS in Operating Systems' :)
